Can i use this to cover the minature butterfly bush in a 15 inch square potted plant and store in the garage over the winter?

It depends on how cold your garage gets. If not too cold, then it will work fine for those nights when it just gets down to about freezing. Then remove the cover so the plant can get light. I live in an old house with a garage that can get cold when the outside temperature goes down into the low 20's. Then I put 2 covers on each of my plants and they at least survive.

It's definitely big enough, but unless your garage reaches freezing temperatures overnight, I don't think you need to cover the plant. I live in zone 9, near Santa Barbara, California, and though some evening temperatures reach the mid 20's, I don't cover the hydrangeas or other plants that I move inside for the winter. I do cover those I leave outside, which is why I bought the cover.

I suppose, though the purpose of the cover is to protect the plant from frost-- not a problem in the garage.

You could but it is not durable and does not last, we covered our greenhouse and its falling apart and didnt take sun very well.

Personally I think keeping this in a location subject to weather 365 daya a year is not a good idea. Mine is in a semi-covered area and I covered it in plastic to prevent winter snow and ice damage. I also do not store potting soil directly in the soil area, partly because I also use as a server on my deck for parties. Rain does get inside even on the side with the solid cover.

i use this outdoors on my covered patio. the 3 flat wood pot holder surfaces may not do well on uncovered area that is exposed to all the elements

Nope. But you can put in in the garage for the winter, or bring it inside. Also, I'd recommend buying from a plant store. You really want to see what you're getting!

maybe under a covered porch. depending where you live, you may not want to leave it out during winter

If you have a small house, you'll find this greenhouse has a rather large footprint. If you're going to use it inside, keep these tips in mind: (1) Put something under it to catch drips. You're going to water your plants and it's going to drip on to your floor. (2) Buy sun lamps and attach them above every level. (3) You probably won't need the vinyl cover, but if you have a cat, don't grow catnip in it. The cat will get to it, even if it has to tear through the vinyl. Ask me how I know. On second thought, don't ask. By the way, replacement covers are also available on Amazon.

you can put it anywhere outside as long as it gets sunlight. a planter will be lovely. try the lights on the multicolor pattern not the white it will be a fabulous light show. I have had mine for 3 years and even in the snow the light comes thru-enjoy-charlene

Hi. I'm in Ma. It will but while small I would keep it in a pot and bring it inside for the winter. Once larger you can leave it outside but you'd have to wrap it to protect it. They don't grow very fast.

I use it indoors but I dont see why you couldnt use it outdoors as long as its covered

i use it on plants that i keep in the garage over the winter. i do use several at the same time. i also use 48" florescent grow lights.

If you make a 4" band 1/8th" thick around a 10' trunk. I would guestimate that you could protect about 4 trees with one 15oz tub

I think you can. Not sure what you had in mine. Where I put mine I just attached it to my house w/a zip tie "just worked out that way for me" now I have ivy growing around it and it's looking good. I love it.

I have my plant inside but in Northern California I think one could put the plant either on a front porch next to the house OR outside only in the summertime....I haven't tested it outside during the winter yet.

I used a small heater in mine - one that operated on a thermostat. It saved my plants when we had temperatures in the teens and twenties. Be careful where you place the heater of course, with all the plastic parts. I put mine on a concrete block in the center of the greenhouse and it did perfectly fine. If the oil type space heater is a radiator style, it should be fine. If it has open flame, I would not use it because of the exhaust produced. M Miller

You can use it however you want. I have the 75 peat pot green house this year. I've got 2 of them on my shelving unit with a heat mat and grow lights for my tomatoes and peppers. It's working great!

I use it all around the house. One little packet covers a pretty big area. I wouldn't store it. It looses it's effectiveness. As far as flower beds, as long as there is not eatable in them, use it. It want hurt the flowers. But I wouldn't use it around gardens.
